here goes...

okay so the idea for this blog came to me as i was running today. {please note: i use the term "running" loosely. that sentence made it sound so...natural.}

here's the thing:
i'm not perfect.
i am a twenty-something, wide-eyed girl who moved from oklahoma to california in pursuit of...self.

i have grown, discovered, adventured, and learned.
and i have failed, fallen down, and gotten hurt.

the idea of a "second go" is my own personal pursuit of...easing up.
it is cutting myself some slack.
and it is chasing after the relationships, which permit me to just be me.

some key words to give you an idea of the focus here...
health. body. appearance. acceptance. love.

this blog is intended to be a story of my own journey toward a healthy lifestyle. the emphasis will be on my joys, victories, and repeated struggles throughout the process.

i am telling only a handful of my closest companions about this blog. that's all for now, at least. but i am not keeping it private, because i want...no NEED...for it to instill a sense of accountability.
expect real, uncensored, and vulnerable.
